Implementing an Image Database for Complex Russian Architectural Objects: The William Brumfield Collection

SUMMARY

With support from a National Endowment for the Humanities Reference Materials Program grant for 2006–2008, faculty and librarians at the University of Washington (UW) are collaborating with William Brumfield (Tulane University) to preserve and catalog the latter's unmatched collection of Russian architectural photographs, create metadata describing the photographs, and make images and text widely accessible as part of an innovative web-based educational and research resource. Building on experience gained through the creation of an experimental pilot database, project staff are adapting emerging standards (METS and CCO) to a custom design that presents images from the Brumfield Collection within their architectural, geographic, and chronological contexts, both as interrelated views of individual structures, and as buildings that share certain structural and stylistic features with other buildings within and beyond the Russian cultural continuum.     

新自由主义经济理论与经济全球化

本文认为:新自由主义经济理论的实质与经济全球化的本质是一致的,新自由主义的“华盛顿共识”是经济全球化本质的一种实践形式。本文还对新自由主义的“华盛顿共识”给发展中国家的经济发展带来的危害作了分析,说明在经济全球化进程中,发展中国家要走出经济发展的困境,要应对经济全球化的挑战,加强自身的经济安全,就必须在参与经济全球化的过程中反对新自由主义经济理论。     

LIVING TEXTBOOK on the INTERNET: A Call to Collaborate

ABSTRACT

The urgency to develop a world wide information system, replacing existing books and journals, is demonstrated. Its contents can be changed, commented and updated by everyone, under certain restrictions, and is therefore called a “LIVING TEXTBOOK.” According to the interest of the reader non-relevant information can be screened off. He can immediately find out what has already been done in a particular subject. The refereeing system becomes more democratic: The reader can choose the judgement of the referee of his choice.     

Racial similarity as a moderator variable in the perception of leader behavior and control

This study compared leader behavior ratings of black and white Army infantry squad members serving in squads led either by black or white leaders. One black and one white squad member, chosen at random from each of 34 racially mixed squads, rated their leader's Consideration and Initiation of Structure behaviors (Stogdill, 1963), and their leader's behavior relevant to French and Raven's (1959) five bases of social power. In general, it was found that members who were of the same race as their leader rated him as significantly less likely to use punishment-related behaviors than did members who were of a different race than their leader. However, same-race members did not rate their leader's considerate or structuring behavior differently than did different-race members. The overall pattern of findings were discussed in terms of the leaders' implicit reliance on their punishment power to obtain compliance from different-race subordinates.     

面向能力培养的课群结构优化设计

复杂性作为现代工程的本质,要求工程专业毕业生必须掌握解决复杂工程问题的能力。本文在分析"华盛顿协议"关于毕业生素质要求的基础上,将其分解为知识、能力、态度三个维度,并提出"一体两翼"式课程设计方案,通过"四个步骤"综合课程群建设、实践取向的学科课程建设及多种形式的实践模式建设三个模块建设来培养学生解决复杂工程问题的能力。     

发展经济学发展观的演变

发展观的演变既是发展经济学理论发展的过程,也是发展中国家实践发展的过程。随着一些发展中国家的经济发展,发展理论必将得到进一步的丰富。本文认为,没有一个适合于所有国家的发展模式,每个国家都应根据自身的特点和资源禀赋探索适合于本国的发展理论和模式,也许没有共识就是最好的共识。     

华盛顿·欧文小说的叙事艺术

华盛顿·欧文小说的艺术价值是通过它的叙事艺术来实现的.欧文在叙述中采用了独特而灵活的叙事视角来观察事物,使用讽刺幽默的叙事手法来揭示事物,并且通过悬念情节的叙事设计来塑造人物和吸引读者;同时还结合作者自身的经历和艺术修养,把普通平常的事物写得精彩纷呈,让人耳目一新,使小说更具有深厚的艺术感染力.     

瑞普·范·温克尔：酗酒的守护天使

自从华盛顿·欧文在他的《瑞普·范·温克尔》中刻画出瑞普·范·温克尔这个人物以来,瑞普就成了饱受争议的角色。瑞普这种备受争议的结局是由他的性格特征所决定的。尽管如此,瑞普还是受到很多读者的欢迎,许多评论家甚至对他好评不断,誉他为美国的英雄。瑞普本是一个嗜好喝酒的普通人物,从睡谷消失多年也是因为喝酒引起,但从美国早期历史的社会场景来看,恰是这种对酒精的嗜好使瑞普成为既受争议又受好评的文学人物。
